Colombian arepa wrapped in foil with turkey and cheese for an on-the-go family meal

Wrapped Turkey and Cheese Arepa for Busy Family Days

June 11, 20261 min read

Real Food That Keeps Up With Your Day

Some days don't have a sit-down meal in them. Sports practice, school pickup, errands, car rides — and everyone needs to eat. A wrapped turkey and cheese arepa is the on-the-go meal that actually works.

It's warm, filling, naturally gluten-free, and takes less than five minutes to put together. Heat the arepa, add turkey and cheese, wrap it in foil, and go.

What You Need

  • 1 or 2 Zavor Colombian arepa/s

  • 2–3 slices deli turkey

  • 1–2 slices of cheese

  • Optional: mustard, mayo, or avocado inside

  • Foil or parchment paper for wrapping

How to Pack It

  1. Toast your Zavor arepa/s until warm and lightly golden.

  2. Add turkey and cheese on top or split and stuff the arepa (Optional: add a second arepa on top of the toppings if you prefer to not split the arepa).

  3. Wrap tightly in foil to keep it warm.

  4. Pack in a bag or lunchbox and go.

Food Safety Note

For best quality, enjoy warm filled arepas within 2 hours, or pack them in an insulated container if you need to hold them longer on a busy day.

Why Arepas Work On-the-Go

Most on-the-go foods fall apart, get soggy, or need reheating. A wrapped arepa holds its shape, travels well, and tastes good warm or at room temperature. It's real food that keeps up with a busy family day — without the drive-through.
